Voices
rya Lyrics

You come through the door like a bag of rocks
You enter recklessly, without grace, without care for those around you

Wounded all the time
You are always hurting, always carrying deep emotional and physical scars

And I'm inside the room with the TV on
I am trying to distract myself from the chaos you bring with me to every moment

Mute
I can't even bear to hear the noise of the world when you're around

Screaming, Elijah, Elijah don't you come
I am shouting at the one person who could help us, begging them not to get involved

Oh god, don't you come
I don't know what else to do, I don't even know if there is a higher power, but I am begging for some kind of escape

I steal out the window like I'm using the door
I try to leave silently, but even that feels like a betrayal, like I am hiding or sneaking away

Whispering willows outside
The outside world is still going on, just as green and peaceful as always, but it feels like a whisper compared to the turmoil inside

Turn into statues of you, fangs exposed, breathing fire
Every beautiful thing outside becomes monstrous and threatening, reminding me of you and the pain you bring

Elijah, don't you come
I can't take any more interference or chaos

Oh god, don't you come
I don't know what else to do, I don't even know if there is a higher power, but I am begging for some kind of escape

Locate the coffin and procure the ring
Find the symbol of death and the symbol of commitment, the two things that will set us free

I'll distract Gabriel
I will take care of the powerful force that could stop us

It's your destiny after all
You were meant for something greater, and I can feel it in my bones

Just go
Leave everything else behind, abandon it all for the greater good

And don't you ever look back
There is nothing for you back there, only pain and regret

Kiss me again
Remind me why we're doing this, remind me of the love that's still there somewhere

And don't you listen to the voices in the past
Those who came before us didn't understand what we have, and they will try to stop us if they can

They lied
They didn't understand our love, our connection, our destiny

When you see the lights, don't you dare go in
There are traps and obstacles ahead, and you must always be alert

Find your way back to the house
Home is the only safe place, the only place where we can be together

And the wind upon gate
Listen for the signals, the signs that we're doing the right thing

When the gate swing back and forth
Even the slightest changes in the environment can be a message from the higher power, a sign that we're on the right track

That's the sign
We're on the right path, keep going

And we are never coming back
We can never go back to the way things were, and we must embrace that

Once the signal's been fired
There's no turning back, no changing our minds, we've committed to this path

When you're in the room I am under the bed
Even when we're together, I still feel like I can't face the world, like I have to hide

I am inside your soul
We are connected in a way that goes beyond words or explanation

I cover your mouth
Sometimes, even when we're connected, I still feel like I can't let you speak, like your words will harm us both

Hands just as ice
My grip is so tight it feels like I'm freezing everything around me

Screaming Elijah
You, and everything you represent, are driving me to the edge

Oh Elijah, come down
Even as I beg you to stay away, some deep part of me still wants you near

Come and take your award
Complete your destiny, claim your rightful place, and save us all

Run away from the light
Sometimes the right path is the hardest one, and we must be willing to flee everything we know and love for the greater good

Little ones
Us, small and insignificant, but part of something much larger and more important
